Launching Open Source Home Automation Site!

The current solution allows you to fairly easily link together devices through low-cost radio-frequency receivers and transmitters, a few sample circuits such as a generic binary sensor and a relay-based remote switch are included.

A lot of the Arduino and hardware-related posts as of late will start going over onto the new site, freeing this site back up for things relating to (enterprise) software development.
